Remember my Zamor -based NXT shooter called Nashorn that I have published some while ago ? Due to public demand, I've created building instructions for it over the last days that are available (with a lot of other robots) on my personal NXT site now. Next to the shooting mechanism, the interesting thing on that particular robot is its robust base that can rotate in two dimensions in a very stable and precise way, using two turn tables.

During LEGOWORLD, I've built a NXT-driven gun that is based on the Zamor shooter from LEGO(R)'s BIONICLE series. The shooter, named Nashorn (German for Rhin o), is stationary and can be accurately moved in two directions, either autonomously or using a remote control (as I did in the following video). For more pictures, see the robots section of my website.
